A special market selling only Bulgarian agricultural products was launched on Saturday in Sofia, a week before Orthodox Christians mark Easter.

It is located in the Ivan Vazov residential district, just by the "regular" market a few hundred meters from the South Park. 

Agriculture Minister Desislava Taneva and Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova attended the opening of the "Easter market" which has the goal of promoting local foods such as dairy products, honey, and spices.

Visitors will also be able to buy lamb beet and kozunak, which is a traditional Bulgarian Easter bread.

The market will be open between April 4 and April 9.
